Although Milotic appeared to have been defeated by this move, Nihilego made it get back up and continue battling.

In 10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!, Charjabug and Togedemaru used Discharge and Zing Zap, respectively, on Milotic. Thanks to their constant support to Charjabug and a little creativity in the face of obstacles, the Sophocles Lab team eventually won the race, winning a year's supply of Charjabug-themed merchandise as a prize. During the race, Sophocles struck a rivalry with Horacio's Red Comet team and his Shiny Charjabug. Working together with Ash and Kiawe, Sophocles formed the Sophocles Lab team, with him working as the team director, Kiawe working as the team mechanic, and Ash working as Charjabug's 'support runner', running alongside Charjabug during the race and helping it to get past obstacles. In Mounting an Electrifying Charge!, Sophocles decided to enter the Charjabug race, a race where Charjabug are fit into electric-powered cars and made to drive through an obstacle-filled racecourse with the aid of a three-man team.

Sophocles expressed so much excitement at the prospect of catching Charjabug that he nearly fell over while throwing the Ball, and expressed even more excitement at its capture, soon admitting that he was just moving to another house down the street.Д¬harjabug taking part in the Charjabug race Togedemaru managed to weaken Charjabug enough for Sophocles to feel comfortable enough throwing a PokГ© Ball at it. Charjabug was able to deflect one Zing Zap and fight back with Discharge. Sophocles was surprised by Ash's kindness and sent out Togedemaru to battle Charjabug. He brought it along with him to Sophocles's farewell party, where he let it out of the cage and showed it off to Sophocles. After recuperating, Ash and his PokГ©mon managed to capture it in a cage. Charjabug shocked Ash as he impetuously reached to grab it from its burrow. Litten and Rockruff dug it up from its place underground.

With the help of Pikachu, Rockruff, and Litten, he was able to track one down. In So Long, Sophocles!, Ash was looking for a farewell present for Sophocles due to the latter supposedly moving away soon, and decided to go look for a Charjabug at Rotom's suggestion.
